John Lewis Beauty Advent Calendar 2018 now available – and here’s what’s inside

The leaves on the trees are turning Autumn brown, so clearly it must be time to think of…Christmas.

No, wait, what? It can’t be Christmas already can it? Well clearly it can if you’re a John Lewis customer because their beauty advent calendar for 2018 is already on sale. Maybe they were just excited and couldn’t wait. Premature Christmastification. It’s a thing, I swear.

Personally, even though I probably will buy a beauty advent calendar, I can’t even consider thinking about it right now. Which means that I’ll probably miss the boat with this one, as it really is a very good deal. The box is quite dull and un-Christmassy, but luckily the contents are a lot more interesting. Here’s what’s inside:

Total value: £377.30

Retail price: £165

As you can see, this calendar contains 25 sample sizes of high end skincare and perfume, plus a little make up. It’s a great way to try out these products without having to buy a full pot – although if you like something it may prove to be an expensive habit to keep up. The skincare on the whole looks fairly rich and is clearly aimed at dry and ageing skin.

And that’s not all – several of the brands have extra offers included:
